Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Sophie, affectionately known as Puddin', is a sweet and loving senior pup who just wants to be by your side. All she craves is affection, and she absolutely loves being around humans—especially when she can curl up in your lap for some pets and cuddles. Sophie has never slept in a crate; she prefers the comfort of being close to her people at all times. Though she’s not a fan of car rides and can be a bit vocal about it, Sophie’s adorable "whining" for attention is more like a charming seal-like sound that’s bound to make you smile. A couple of things to keep in mind: Sophie has arthritis in her back, so she may be a bit wobbly when she first starts moving, but once she’s up and about, she’s ready to enjoy her day. She’ll thrive in a home where she can receive plenty of attention and love. Sophie is a fantastic dog who gets along with everyone—whether human or animal—and she’s sure to bring a lot of joy to any family lucky enough to have her. If you’re looking for a cuddly, affectionate companion who just wants to be close to you, Sophie is the perfect fit! *This animal is a part of our “Seniors for Seniors” program where we offer senior adopters an opportunity to adopt an eligible pet at a discounted fee.* Adopting a senior dog is like getting a vintage car – it comes with character, a few extra quirks, and might need a bit more maintenance. Expect occasional tune ups at the vet for oil changes (aka meds), and embrace the fact that those 'normal lumps and bumps' are just part of the well-earned charm package! Ruff Start will share all known health information with adopters and recommendations to keep your senior dog in top shape. Sophie Seal is from Texas. They arrive in Minnesota on 3/22/2024 and will need to be picked up from the Ruff Start Rescue office in Princeton, MN between the hours of 9am and noon. Please plan for their arrival accordingly as we cannot accommodate pickups outside of this time frame. Since they haven’t arrived yet, they are available exclusively through Ruff Start’s Foster to Adopt (FTA) Program. Click here to learn more about the FTA program. Once they get to Minnesota, they might require further veterinary care. Ruff Start’s veterinary suite is located in Princeton, MN, and, as the foster, you will be required to transport your dog to and from these vetting appointments. If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application. An adoption application is the best way to show your interest in an animal and is not a binding contract. To learn more about Ruff Start’s adoption process and the care our foster animals receive, please visit our How to Adopt page. If you are unable to adopt but want to help this animal and others in our care, you can donate to support the medical and veterinary needs of all Ruff Start Rescue animals.
